: A little tidbit... I don't know about you guys but I thought that
: "wildcat" implied some sort of crazy or out of control
: situation. However, "wildcat" has a pretty complex definition.
: The term most similar to "wildcat destabilization" I've found is
: "wildcat strike". A wildcatter is someone who takes stabs in the
: dark (usually in reference to oil drilling). By definition, a wildcat
: strike implies some sort of luck, and appears to be a /good/ thing.

According to one of the Halo Outtakes, Jen Taylor (voice of cortana) seems to believe Joe (Staten, presumably) is responsible for this "wildcat" business. College mascot reference, maybe?
